The invention claimed is: 1. A creaser accessory device for forming a crease in a portion of a garment, the creaser accessory device comprising: first and second plates having a proximal end and a distal end, each of the first and second plates having inner generally planar mating surfaces adjacent to each other, a tab member extending from the distal end of one of said first and second plates, and a slotted member at the proximal end of said one of said first and second plates, whereby said first and second plates of the creaser accessory device are configured to be removably coupled to a hand-held steamer; and a lever arm pivotally connected to each of the first and second plates and pivotally connecting the first and second plates together, wherein the first and second plates are configured to be moved by said lever arm between an open configuration and a closed configuration, the distal ends of said first and second plates being spaced apart in the open configuration a sufficient distance to allow a portion of the garment to be received therebetween, and the distal ends of the first and second plates in the closed configuration being moved toward each other such that the inner generally planar mating surfaces of the first and second plates are operative to press the portion of the garment received therebetween to form a crease in the portion of the garment. 2. The creaser accessory device of claim 1, wherein the first and second plates have a plurality of apertures therethrough to allow steam to pass through the apertures to heat the portion of the garment received between the first and second plates, whereby steam from the hand-held steamer can pass through the apertures of the first and second plates for delivering steam heat to the portion of the garment received between the first and second plates. 3. The creaser accessory device of claim 1, wherein the lever arm is configured to be operated by a user to pivot the distal ends of the first and second plates away from each other to receive the portion of the garment therebetween. 4. The creaser accessory device of claim 1, wherein the lever arm is configured to be operated by a user to pivot the distal ends of the first and second plates together to press the portion of the garment to form a crease in the portion of the garment received therebetween, and the lever arm is configured to be operated by the user to pivot the distal ends of the first and second plates apart to release the portion of the garment once the portion of the garment has been pressed.
